Former ISIS Jihadist: 'The Brutality of ISIS Terrifies Everyone'
July 16, 2014
Breitbart.com reports: “A man who had left the terrorist jihadist group Islamic State, formerly the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), tells the BBC that the terrorist group uses young, brainwashed foreign men to impose a very specific, oppressive form of Sharia law-- and kill anyone who stands in its way.
The man, who did not give his name and hid his face from BBC's reporters for fear of himself or his family--still in Syria--being killed, explained the ISIS philosophy simply: ‘If you're against me, then you'll be killed. If you're with me, you work with me. You submit to my will and obey me, under my power in all matters.’
Unlike many who join ISIS directly, this man says that he had previously joined an extremist wing of the Free Syrian Army to combat Bashar al-Assad and establish an Islamic state in Syria. His brigade then pledged allegiance to ISIS, incorporating him automatically into the terrorist group.
He says he found himself shocked when he was forced into ISIS training, and the version of Islam being imposed was too radical for him. The jihadist group teaches, he explains, ‘not the principles of Islam, the principles of the Islamic State. So they teach you the Islam they want... it appeals to the heart and not to the mind, so that your heart becomes impassioned with their words.’…”
